Taiwan’s Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has detected levels of benzo[a]pyrene exceeding legal limits in imported pumpkin seed oil originating from Belgium. This follows previous reports of similar contamination in other imported oils. Benzo[a]pyrene is a carcinogenic substance, raising concerns about food safety. The FDA is implementing stricter inspection protocols for imported cooking oils. Further investigations are underway to determine the source of the contamination and the extent of the affected batches. Consumers are advised to check the origin of their cooking oils and to report any suspicious products. The FDA assures the public they are taking necessary measures to protect public health and prevent further contaminated products from entering the market.
